Agonis Flexuosa Lemon Lime

Post by Patmet »

Early days for this one. I haven’t done anything to the design with this so far, except for a bit of clip and grow here and there to encourage growth in favourable places while I continue to grow the trunk. The Lemon Lime cultivar has definitely become one of my favourite foliages to see in the garden every day. The bright yellow new growth against the lime green older leaves really is beautiful. Photos don’t do it justice as always. I’m really excited about developing this one moving forward, I think it has excellent potential.

22 January 2023 - In a state of unimpeded growth for trunk development. I will start wiring some main branches soon while they are flexible.

That's a nice looking tree and a very attractive clone. I will keep an eye out. Is it PBR?
So I had a look and just found a nursery not far away with them...

From what I can see it is PBR. That’s great they are a stunning cultivar.

Just did a cut back on this. It went into this bigger pot in recent months to keep the growth pumping.

I've been a little slack with it as I said I would start to wire branches last growth period, and am yet to put any wire on this tree. I think I will follow it's lead and make it a multi trunk design.
